Finding My Passion Again! (70 Day Commitment)

At my weigh in last week at Curves I didn't lose anything...that darn scale. I despise it! But if there is one thing I have learned in ALL my years of dieting...the scale should not be an indicator of your success. Now if I can just get myself to believe that:) So, yeah, no weight loss but boy oh boy am I excited about what I HAVE accomplished! I am finding my PASSION again!! I forgot how INCREDIBLE it feels to walk so fast that you have sweat dripping off your nose. To push yourself till you feel like there is no way you can keep going...but you do.

That's where I am today.

I'm on a roll...walking fast, pushing myself up hills, working out at Curves and then walking some more. I can FEEL my body getting stronger. I can FEEL my confidence level rising.

Tomorrow is another weigh-in day. I honestly don't know what that scale will say...but what I DO know is I wouldn't trade this feeling of being physically stronger for a drop on the scale. I know from past training when my fitness level increases I naturally start dropping the weight. There is no doubt I still need to clean up my diet. I am a work in progress...but today I see myself walking FORWARD rather than BACKWARD.

What a great attitude! Good for you for focusing on how you FEEL. Have you read Danielle LaPorte's 'Desire Map'? In that book she talks about focusing on how we want to feel instead of something in particular. How will this or that make us feel.

“A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid any more.” ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.” -The Hobbit
